APPENDIX C - STANDARD E&S PLAN NOTES
The following notes should be placed on the E&S plan drawings.
1. All earth disturbances, including clearing and grubbing as well as cuts and fills shall be done in
accordance with the approved E&S plan. A copy of the approved drawings (stamped, signed and
dated by the reviewing agency) must be available at the project site at all times. The reviewing
agency shall be notified of any changes to the approved plan prior to implementation of those
changes. The reviewing agency may require a written submittal of those changes for review and
approval at its discretion.
2. At least 7 days prior to starting any earth disturbance activities, including clearing and grubbing, the
owner and/or operator shall invite all contractors, the landowner, appropriate municipal officials, the
E&S plan preparer, the PCSM plan preparer, the licensed professional responsible for oversight of
critical stages of implementation of the PCSM plan, and a representative from the local
conservation district to an on-site preconstruction meeting.
3. At least 3 days prior to starting any earth disturbance activities, or expanding into an area
previously unmarked, the Pennsylvania One Call System Inc. shall be notified at 1-800-242-1776
for the location of existing underground utilities.
4. All earth disturbance activities shall proceed in accordance with the sequence provided on the plan
drawings. Deviation from that sequence must be approved in writing from the local conservation
district or by the Department prior to implementation.
5. Areas to be filled are to be cleared, grubbed, and stripped of topsoil to remove trees, vegetation,
roots and other objectionable material.
6. Clearing, grubbing, and topsoil stripping shall be limited to those areas described in each stage of
the construction sequence. General site clearing, grubbing and topsoil stripping may not
commence in any stage or phase of the project until the E&S BMPs specified by the BMP sequence
for that stage or phase have been installed and are functioning as described in this E&S plan.
7. At no time shall construction vehicles be allowed to enter areas outside the limit of disturbance
boundaries shown on the plan maps. These areas must be clearly marked and fenced off before
clearing and grubbing operations begin.
8. Topsoil required for the establishment of vegetation shall be stockpiled at the location(s) shown on
the plan maps(s) in the amount necessary to complete the finish grading of all exposed areas that
are to be stabilized by vegetation. Each stockpile shall be protected in the manner shown on the
plan drawings. Stockpile heights shall not exceed 35 feet. Stockpile slopes shall be 2H:1V or
flatter.
9. Immediately upon discovering unforeseen circumstances posing the potential for accelerated
erosion and/or sediment pollution, the operator shall implement appropriate best management
practices to minimize the potential for erosion and sediment pollution and notify the local
conservation district and/or the regional office of the Department.
10. All building materials and wastes shall be removed from the site and recycled or disposed of in
accordance with the Department’s Solid Waste Management Regulations at 25 Pa. Code 260.1 et
seq., 271.1, and 287.1 et. seq. No building materials or wastes or unused building materials shall
be burned, buried, dumped, or discharged at the site.
11. All off-site waste and borrow areas must have an E&S plan approved by the local conservation
district or the Department fully implemented prior to being activated.
12. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that any material brought on site is clean fill.
Form FP-001 must be retained by the property owner for any fill material affected by a spill or
release of a regulated substance but qualifying as clean fill due to analytical testing.
13. All pumping of water from any work area shall be done according to the procedure described in this
plan, over undisturbed vegetated areas.
14. Vehicles and equipment may neither enter directly nor exit directly from lots (specify lot numbers)
onto (specify road names) .
